T210 Oddity?

[John V]

This Brooks (New Orleans) has an upside-down Old Mill back. Sorry for the blurry front.
I've shared these scans with a couple T210 collectors by PM. I thought I'd post them here as well. I'd appreciate comments on rarity & how this would happen. It seems there would be a slew of these due to the error in the printing process.
I haven't talked price with the owner. Any ideas on value?

It does't wow me the way some other errors do. And it's not in great condition.....I would give an auction estimate of 100-200......could be more or less though....

I think it is pretty significant as it is not only a miscut but also has the wrong back as well! New Orleans is in Series 8 and the back while upside down is a series 3 ( unless my eyes age playing tricks on me). I have seen this same error a few times (only with series 8 cards... Maybe an early print run using left over series 3 backs or a scrap of some sort? It reminds me of the Dockman cards w/ the Menagerie Gum (animals) back, it gives us insight into the printing process. As to value it could be all over the place but if I were going after the T210 set I'd pay $200-300 for it just as a "go-along" item for my set.

John,
That card is rare and odd! There is only 1 other known Series 8 card with a series 3 reverse. (Pepe-Montgomery) Rhett's memory is spot on, as I believe Dan owns/owned the Series 2 Lovell card with series 4 reverse. Those are the only two I have ever seen in 15+ years of collecting these T210's besides the Orange Border Series 3 printing anomalies. The Brooks would make three! I would estimate the card to be more in the $300+ range despite the condition due to rarity. The Pepe sold for $500+ several years ago.

I'll bid that bad boy up all day.

Thought that I would point out that Dan does still appear to own the Lovell as it is currently on Ebay:

Dan's card is sweet. It's a $1K card on the high side (not $15K). I believe I will make him an offer... I am sure he will take it based of all the market data on the 2 sales of the Pepe & Brooks.

That is a great example. Nice to see a strong price too.
